1990 Chevy K 1500 - crossmembers - Photo 04

Behind the trussed front 44 is a series of gusseted crossmembers for the frame side of the front chromoly links. Each link uses a Heim joint at the axle end and a sleeve and bushing at the frame end. This link suspension locates the axle while a set of 60-series Bilstein shocks and 170-pounds-per-inch coils do the damping and support.
